Description
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at the South Pole, is the
world's largest neutrino detector.
IceCube is well placed to probe the existence of sterile neutrinos of
around 1 eV², which is a region of particularly interest for the various
anomalies motivating the existence of sterile neutrinos, by looking for
resonant-enhanced muon neutrino disappearance around 1 TeV.
In addition to that, using data from a more densely instrumented region
of the detector (DeepCore), IceCube can be used to precisely measure
regular neutrino oscillations and, by looking at distortions on those
oscillations, further probe the existence of sterile neutrinos.
We will be reporting on recent results from neutrino oscillations using
both IceCube (sterile neutrino searches) and DeepCore (muon neutrino
disappearance and sterile neutrino searches) with a particular focus on
the sterile neutrino searches.
